This is done because C does not have reference types, and no debugger currently
supports the debug output produced by dmd when using -g. When using -g dmd
should, as you say, use the DWARF reference type, which it does not currently
do. When using -gc, it should be a pointer as it is now. I'll try and put a
patch together later today. As a side note, classes should be reference types
too, rather than acting as pointers as they do currently.
